The smart money on the next PM has been on either George Osbourne or Boris.
Tonight the game changed. I reckon it could be Hilary Benn.

Big, strong words from Benn but how easy is it? How easy it is to use your big and passionate words, but how hard is it actually come up with a plan, execute it and get out of there again. What's he saying, bombs away to cheer everyone up and to hell with what the actual consequences are? No, he's banging on about being anti-facism, which we can all support.

Around 60 Labour MPs voted against the John Baron amendment, according to Sky.
Most of those MPs are likely to be voting with the government for airstrikes in the vote taking place now.

I can think of a couple of NSC Posters who would take exception to that!
Corbyn looked like he was chewing on a wasp at the end of Benn's speech...

Labour source just told me 67 @UKLabour MPs defy @jeremycorbyn on Syria
Government wins vote on airstrikes by majority of 174. Some 397 MPs were in favour, and 223 against.

Except we're not, are we? It is simply an extension of current operations.

Exactly, a logical extension of military operations against ISIS all this melodramatic talk of 'going to war' is bit OTT.
Well in that case we have been at war vs IS for more than a year now. The mission is the same, but the theatre has got bigger

Yes, it is war. We've been at war with ISIS much since they came into existence.
